Airbnbs have all those things extra surprise fees and you really don’t know what you’re getting. I just don’t get why someone wouldn’t just use a hotel which is cheaper and you know what you’re paying for and how much you’re paying.
 
Yeah, I use booking.com and hotels from there directly, but in Kuala Lumpur most are serviced apartments anyway. I get discounts by taking things off-platform.
 
It used to be good that’s why. Getting a whole house to yourself and sometimes for less than a hotel. Especially a luxury hotel.

These days some people still want that home experience over what a hotel has to offer so that’s why they still go for Airbnb.

Airbnbs are also in places where hotels aren’t sometimes so that’s another reason.
